In Aliens: Colonial Marines, players are part of a United States Colonial Marine squad and must prepare to face an alien assault more intense and horrific than ever before. Driven by a compelling and original story penned by renowned writers Bradley Thompson and David Weddle, Aliens: Colonial Marines will retain the atmospheric look and feel of the original films while leveraging next-generation technology to create an entirely new interactive Aliens experience.

Packing classic Aliens weaponry ranging from pulse rifles to flamethrowers as well as brand-new equipment and skills all within a squad-based combat system, players will become an elite United States Colonial Marine. Featuring claustrophobic environments, a brooding soundtrack, and a multitude of surprises and shocks, players will battle against menacing alien hordes in strikingly detailed levels that include the stark interiors of the abandoned Sulaco and unique environments created specifically for the game.

Aliens: Colonial Marines will feature a story driven single-player mode and an all-new four player co-op mode allowing players to share the chilling experience with three friends. In co-op mode, each player will assume the persona of a Colonial Marine and have a distinct role to play in the completion of every mission. Additionally, more multiplayer modes will be revealed later in the year that will complete the Aliens video game experience.

Storyline:Aliens: Colonial Marines begins with an ostensibly abandoned ship, the U.S.S. Sulaco, recovered in orbit around LV-426. Players lead a group of highly trained United States Colonial Marines as they board the deserted craft to uncover the fate of the crew. They will have to fight to survive unspeakable horrors and their own anxieties as they chase down the truth behind a galaxy-spanning deception that places humanity at the mercy of the most murderous and deadly species in the universe. Aliens: Colonial Marines features authentic environments, such as the surface of LV-426 and Hadley's Hope, weapons inspired by the film series and is designed to provide an exhilarating and engaging new chapter in the Aliens universe.

1not worth the wait!!!!!

Was so disappointed last august when this game was pushed back, the wait was in vain i'm afraid. The game stinks of last gen graphics the aliens look terrible, and aliens when shot are flowing in mid air and half in half out of walls and doors. AVP was bad but this is worse, one star because i have to.......trading this in asap.

4"Not Bad, for a human"

Got my Xbox 360 pre-order copy on Saturday and have had a good blast, admittedly I'm a huge Alien franchise fan so i spent much of the first hour just wandering around and looking at the Sulaco scenery, it was awesome looking at the freezers, the loading bay, the weapon racks, the mess hall, the floor plates the Queen moved to get Newt etc, etc, etc, all the details are there. It all started off really good and things only got better once you reach Hadley's Hope, the details, lighting, sounds etc are all excellent......really gives you the proper Aliens vibe, its the closest we can get to going back in time and walking round the sets!!!!!!It's not all good though unfortunately, the actual Xenos themselves have not been given the presence they deserve, you can melee them with your gun for goodness sake!!!!! Yes it's a game, but come on, in reality if they existed in the form depicted in the films you might as well hit your gun butt off a wall!!! Secondly they go down too easy, especially in comparison to the armoured Weyland humans, one good shotgun blast takes down an Alien but the bloody humans take 5-6 good shots!!!!The animation is a bit wooden too, and they do tend to home right in on you and not your fellow marines.From what I have seen so far it's a solid if not brilliant rendition of the Aliens universe, Gearbox have now become a developer i will be wary of as I got this and Duke Nukem, both not quite hitting the mark, truth be told I should probably have waited for the inevitable price drop however as a true fan, that was not going to happen.I would give it a whirl if like me you like your Xenos!!

1Gutted.

I am a huge huge aliens fan, and literally could not wait for this game.Within 2 minutes of playing it, I was gutted.The graphics look like a 7 year old game and a poor one at that. The gameplay is utterly boring and wooden.The sounds are all there which is great, but as a game it just feels so cheap and nasty. How on earth they could release this, all those years to develop and the hype as well, staggering.:(
